this of course is plain wrong.

the "setup"-function _never_ creates any inlets and outlets, or even an 
object.
it is the "new"-function (aka creator) that handles instantiation.

it is perfectly possible to create a dll that does not provide any 
objectclasses (and is still "loaded" by Pd). it is not possible to 
instantiate such a nonexistant objectlass though - it would always "just 
sit there" in dashed lines...
